When a soul abandons all the atoms of the universe, after having transformed them into all seven categories, including Audarik, that period is called **Badar Dravya Pudgal Paravartan**. In essence, every atom in the universe undergoes transformation through the seven categories, starting with Audarik. When a soul acquires all the atoms of the universe in the form of Audarik and other categories, a Badar Dravya Pudgal Paravartan occurs.
**Appendix:**
**2. Sukshma Dravya Pudgal Paravartan:** When a soul, over time, acquires all the atoms in the form of any one category, including Audarik, and then abandons them, that period is called **Sukshma Dravya Pudgal Paravartan**. This means that when a soul transforms all the atoms of the universe into the Audarik form, if it acquires Vayik Pudgal in between, that period is not counted. Only the acquisition of atoms transformed into the Audarik form is considered. The same understanding applies to other categories like Vaishrir, etc.
**3. Badar Kshetra Pudgal Paravartan:** When a soul, upon death, touches all the regions of the Lokakasha (universe) in sequence or without sequence, in the same order as they are formed, that period is called **Badar Kshetra Pudgal Paravartan**. If a soul dies in a region and then dies again in the same region, it is not counted. Only those regions where death has not occurred before are counted. Although a soul resides in countless regions, one region can be considered as the main one for counting.
**4. Sukshma Kshetra Pudgal Paravartan:** When a soul, while wandering in the universe, dies in one region of the sky and then dies again in another region adjacent to it, and then again in another region adjacent to that, it is called **Sukshma Kshetra Pudgal Paravartan**.
